Book Transportation  Land Use  and Environmental Planning

Download or read book Transportation Land Use and Environmental Planning written by Elizabeth Deakin and published by . This book was released on 2019-10 with total page 652 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transportation, Land Use, and Environmental Planning examines the practices and policies linking transportation, land use and environmental planning needed to achieve a healthy environment, thriving economy, and more equitable and inclusive society. It assesses best practices for improving the performance of city and regional transportation systems, looking at such issues as public transit and non-motorized travel investments, mixed use and higher density urban development, radically transformed vehicles, and transportation systems. The book lays out the growing need for greater integration of transportation, land use, and environmental planning, looking closely at changing demographic needs, public health concerns, housing affordability, equity, and livability. In addition, strategies for achieving these desired outcomes are presented, including urban design and land use planning, regional and corridor-level transit plans, bike and pedestrian improvements, demand management strategies, and emerging technologies and services. The final part of the book examines implementation challenges, considering lessons from the US and around the globe at both local and regional levels. Introduces never-before-published research Offers best practices for transit, cycling, urban design and housing provision Assesses emerging developments, such as smart cities, new vehicle technologies, automated highways and transportation sharing Examines the institutional and political dimensions of sustainability planning at the urban and regional levels Utilizes case studies from around the world that show alternative ways forward

Book Metropolitan Transport and Land Use

Download or read book Metropolitan Transport and Land Use written by David M Levinson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-01-19 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As cities around the globe respond to rapid technological changes and political pressures, coordinated transport and land use planning is an often targeted aim. Metropolitan Transport and Land Use, the second edition of Planning for Place and Plexus, provides unique and updated perspectives on metropolitan transport networks and land use planning, challenging current planning strategies, offering frameworks to understand and evaluate policy, and suggesting alternative solutions. The book includes current and cutting-edge theory, findings, and recommendations which are cleverly illustrated throughout using international examples. This revised work continues to serve as a valuable resource for students, researchers, practitioners, and policy advisors working across transport, land use, and planning.

Book Options for Improving the Coordination of Transportation and Land Use Planning in Virginia

Download or read book Options for Improving the Coordination of Transportation and Land Use Planning in Virginia written by John Sanders Miller and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virginia's 2003 General Assembly directed the Secretary of Transportation to (1) assess best practices used by other states to coordinate transportation and land use planning, (2) review current state efforts to provide technical assistance to local governments in the development of a transportation component of the local comprehensive plan, and (3) report the results of these efforts to the 2004 session of the legislature. The Virginia Transportation Research Council was commissioned to perform the necessary research. This report responds to that request. The report notes that there is no single best practice that coordinates transportation and land use planning. Instead, a best practice occurs when the state legislature clearly articulates a policy goal that transportation and land use planning are expected to achieve. Seven possible policy goals are given in the report, and because one or more of these policy goals may be contradictory, statement of a clear, specific policy is critical to achieving better coordination. Examples of policy goals include, but are not limited to, developing a transportation system that supports any existing or future land use desired by localities, encouraging compact development, improving air or water quality, providing greater transportation choice for consumers, and explicitly aligning transportation goals with land use goals. Based on a review of statutes from states that reflect centralized and decentralized planning, interviews with representatives from such states, interviews with representatives of various state and federal technical assistance programs outside Virginia, and active participation in two local technical assistance efforts, methods for implementing better transportation and land use coordination are suggested. Options include (1) helping counties quantify the transportation impacts of proposed land development alternatives (especially as a transportation element within the county comprehensive plan), (2) ensuring that VDOT participates in site plan reviews to the fullest extent possible when provided such an opportunity by a locale, (3) using the appropriate legislative and administrate tools (notably the Minimum Standards of Entrances to State Highways and Section 33.1-58 of the Code of Virginia) to help resident and district engineers engaged in the permitting process consider corridor or system impacts of additional access points rather than only site-specific impacts, (4) establishing an access management code defining appropriate levels of access for the roadway, and (5) dedicating VDOT staff to the technical assistance function of working with localities, given the latter's control over land development.

Book Coordination of Transportation Planning and Land Use Control

Download or read book Coordination of Transportation Planning and Land Use Control written by and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The public power to control the use of land is primarily exercised by city and county officials in Virginia. Control over the location and characteristics of transportation facilities, including roads and mass transit, is exercised primarily by the Commonwealth through the Virginia Department of Transportation. Unlike most other states, Virginia retains control over and responsibility for almost all roads notwithin an incorporated city. Though it complicates coordination, this separation of the responsibility for land use control and transportation planning is not unworkable. This structure seems to have served the Commonwealth well for some 50 years; however, new pressures have begun to place great stress on it. This report explores the legal, institutional, and procedural environments within which the land use and transportation planning processes operate in Virginia. In particular, the study focuses on the problems that have emerged from the explosive population growth and development that Northern Virginia experienced in the 1980s. The report encompasses six general areas of inquiry: (1) intergovernmental relations; (2) the transportation planning process; (3) land use control; (4) tools for coordination; (5) impediments to effective coordination; and (6) the laws and practices of other selected regions.

Book Local Transportation and Land Use Coordination

Download or read book Local Transportation and Land Use Coordination written by George D. Mazur and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intent of this online resource is to provide information about off-the-shelf policies, practices, analytic methods, data sources, and software that can help officials in Montana's growing communities coordinate transportation and land use decisions. Development of the online resource centered around four research objectives to facilitate coordinated transportation and land use planning in growing Montana communities: development and extension of local street networks; local transportation system financing; assessment of development impacts on local and state roads; and directions for multimodal (including pedestrian and bicycle travel) and transit development. Finally, the research identified promising but underdeveloped planning approaches worthy of further research and/or development in subsequent efforts.
